Hey.. New here, thought i would share my Jeep Build. Some of this wont make too much sense because its copied from a Falcon forum that i frequent on as I am mainly a Ford man, until I was given this Jeep from my dad, so here goes..
My dad owned it since around 91. He purchased the Jeep stock standard, 360 AMC, Turbo 400, quadratrack and D44 Front and Rear. My Mum dropped us to school every day up until 1997 she got herself a new Fairlane.
In 1997 he got the 460 EFI from the states with a C6 box, converted to a D20 Transfer, installed a Rancho 3" springlift, 3" body lift, had it resprayed in Maroon and silver. The Panel did a number on him though and used ALOT of spray puddy, not even a year later is started to crows feet and peel.
Unfortunately I don't have any pics of it during the original build.
So in 2001 it got sold to my brothers mate buggered paint job. In the 5 years he owned it all he did was strip it down to a bare shell and sand it back to Metal, 5 years later (2006) myself and my dad bought it back looking like this:
originally after getting it back we were going to make it something special, only to realise my brothers mate lost alot of parts and it was going to be alot of work in the short amount of time, as we wanted to take it to the Jamboree in 2006, Black Duck Valley.
We decided to paint it ourselves and turn it into a bit of a mud pig.
In late 2006 we took it to the jeep jamboree in black duck valley where i took it though the mud run... it swallowed a whole gut full of water and twisted 2 rods
heres a pick of it at the jamboree:
So we ended up buying a new short motor
so this is how it stood then:
460 big block EFI, Custom grind cam, roller rockers, double valve springs, heads decked 18 thou block decked 10 thou. EFI Heads, twin 50MM throttle bodies, 42PSI injectors, Haltech E11V2
XA extractors with Custom collectors down to a twin 2 1/2" exhaust with stainless mufflers
3" bodylift, 3" suspension lift with ES2000 shockies and custom springs
15" Custom Rims with 33" wrangler mud Tyres
C6 auto, dana 20 transfer case with dana 44 diffs front and rear.
It made 238rwhp at Chiptorque in Nerang.
Heres some pics of how it looked then:
